Feeding the Void: Co-evolution of the SIDM-seeded Black Hole and the dark halo after core-collapse
Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Louis E. Strigari +3
While the gravothermal collapse of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos provides a compelling mechanism for seeding supermassive black holes (BHs), the post-collapse macroscop…
The Sensitivity of Substructure Lensing to SIDM Core-collapse Model Variation
Charlie Mace, Birendra Dhanasingham, Zhichao Carton Zeng +4
Strong gravitational lensing has emerged as a powerful probe of dark matter substructure, and shows particularly strong promise as a test of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). Th…
MARVELously Dark: the density profile evolution of dwarf halos in velocity-dependent SIDM
Anna Engelhardt, Ferah Munshi, Annika H. G. Peter +6
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) with a sufficiently large cross section has been shown to naturally produce constant dark matter (DM) cores, as well as core-collapse, at the ce…
Calibrating the SIDM Gravothermal Catastrophe with N-body Simulations
Charlie Mace, Shengqi Yang, Zhichao Carton Zeng +3
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) theories predict that dark matter halos experience core-collapse in late-stage evolution, a process where the halo's inner region rapidly increa…
Tidal evolution of cored and cuspy dark matter halos
Xiaolong Du, Andrew Benson, Zhichao Carton Zeng +9
The internal structure and abundance of dark matter halos and subhalos are powerful probes of the nature of dark matter. In order to compare observations with dark matter models, a…
Convergence Tests of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Simulations
Charlie Mace, Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter +4
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) theory predicts that dark matter halos experience core-collapse, a process where the halo's inner region rapidly increases in density and decrea…
Till the core collapses: the evolution and properties of self-interacting dark matter subhalos
Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Xiaolong Du +6
One of the hottest questions in the cosmology of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is whether scatterings can induce detectable core-collapse in halos by the present day. Because…
Snowmass2021: Vera C. Rubin Observatory as a Flagship Dark Matter Experiment
Yao-Yuan Mao, Annika H. G. Peter, Susmita Adhikari +30
Establishing that Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a flagship dark matter experiment is an essential pathway toward understanding the physical nature of dark matter. In the past two de…
Double dark matter vision: twice the number of compact-source lenses with narrow-line lensing and the WFC3 grism
A. M. Nierenberg, D. Gilman, T. Treu +9
The magnifications of compact-source lenses are extremely sensitive to the presence of low mass dark matter halos along the entire sight line from the source to the observer. Tradi…
